Three years
into the NBA as well as the American life, Chinese basketball star Yi
Jianlian doesn't seem to have changed who he was in terms of his views
on love and marriage, as he gives a point-blank "No" when asked about
whether he would consider a mixed marriage.
"I'll definitely marry a Chinese girl," the
low-profile star blushes at the question. "And it is not about
aesthetic stuff, I am just not that open to a mixed marriage."
He also reveals that he has not been chased
by any women during his long stay in America, adding that he is
prepared for his encounter with the future Miss Right.
"Foreign girls are usually more passionate.
And I will not push myself on it (marriage)," he says with a smile. "It
is not like making a dress, which can be done overnight."
Or maybe lacking enough privacy is another
factor for Yi, who got traded from the New Jersey Nets to the
Washington Wizards this summer, which means a new life lies ahead. And
he spent last month with the Chinese national basketball team for the
World Basketball Championship in Turkey, where he showed improvement on
both ends of the floor, averaging most rebounds per game. He also
starred in a basketball film in Shanghai along with other NBA super
stars for the last two weeks, right before he takes a plane back to the
US
today.
